Yup, in steam support you can say you have a problem with a game and one of the options is “it is now available for cheaper” and they’ll give you the difference if you bought it just before a sale.
The time between your purchase and date the game was discounted isn’t listed but most refunds need to be claimed within 2 months of purchase (Valve’s refund policy says within 2 weeks but that they’ll review requests outside that time period). So maybe if you buy a game and next month it’s on sale you could get the sale price?
The “review outside the 2 week period” is typically for when games are updated to no longer be playable. For example, when Helldivers 2 had the PSN account requirement, players who bought the game more than 2 weeks prior could get refunds.
I think Valve/Steam will refund you the difference if you request it

Is there some kind of time limit on this?

Yeah you can even just refund the game and they usually fulfill it in a day or two, usually in time for the sale.
